And if the author were so skillless in telling the story that the Cliff Notes would suffice then I’d stand you a pint.

its feels like a mass psychosis where tech leaders continue to insist you can be cruel, mean, and hurt the feelings of lines of code

I have to say I take the opposite view. If something doesn’t serve the story it’s padding, and a writer should be better than that. The story is everything. Supply chain infrastructure is unlikely to be necessary unless, for instance, its breakdown is plot relevant. Otherwise I’ll take it as read.

Honestly, I don’t know which AI you’re using to produce these images but the quality is a cut above the usual output. The consistency, the background detail, the right number of fingers 🙂 SkyNet becoming self aware can’t be far off.

Surely the 486 is the processor in bed with, ahem, said woman, while her regular 386 sits on a chair across the room wearing a ball gag. “Oh daddy 486, I’ve got sockets 1, 2 and 3, and your pins are compatible with all of them…” “Mff thhhf mf.” “Hush darling, can’t you see I’m busy?”

Given that Die Hard and Home Alone are basically the same movie, only with differing levels of automatic weaponry, does that mean the Alien is Macaulay Culkin?

Twitter, for I won’t call it X, has this past week exploded with art, AI slop and fanfics centred around the idea that the HP septilogy can be improved by making Draco Malfoy a female character who has a long slow-burn “tsundere” relationship with Potter. It’ll burn out in about three days.

That’s because everyone is having a female Malfoy party over at Elon’s place. Don’t worry, they’ll be back.

The adage that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof still applies. We might not be able to disprove the “theory” that we’re not the first advanced civilisation, but there’s zero evidence for it. So, in the absence of evidence, go with the explanation that requires it least.

I’ve decided that Tone Pro paints from #GamesWorkshop are probably a con. Someone there said “let’s make a paint that does the same job as the paints we already have, only make the user blob it on thicker to get the same result so it runs out faster. More blobs, more money”

Dan @ravenson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I’ve been seeing a lot of “I tested out the new Tone Pro paints from GW and they’re amazing” type posts, accompanied by photos of miniatures that look like the painter was set on fire halfway through. Maybe not the launch GW was hoping for…

Aren’t they just a bunch of colour matched base paints, which suggests we’re meant to layer with them, which isn’t what base paints are for. I’m unconvinced by the whole idea.

A movie that pushed social boundaries, but is famously incomprehensible plot-wise. The Maltese Falcon is better.

The US exists by Act of the UK Parliament. There’s a mechanism for petitions to gets Acts repealed… I’m not saying you’d have to stay British forever, but a reset might be a good thing? And you gun nuts can rest easy knowing your 2nd amendment came from UK law, only it’s properly managed in the UK.

Hello internet, can you tell me why this download failed please? Because your 1p per minute friends and family phone line rate is capped at one hour and you didn’t call back because you’d gone to bed. Damn you slow pace of technology!!!

I believe they were indeed. Or at least they were a free update which by the time I got the game I think must’ve already been applied because I can’t imagine downloading something like that on the slow ass dial up internet I had back then.

Did you say Unreal Tournament? Okay, so three years ago when it came out my character was a Skaarj called Overlord because when you’re in your early 20s names like that are trés butch and he was an expert sniper and liked to use the shock rifle on double attack setting and, oh she’s gone…

Love your videos, watch them all, but watching this put me in mind of a physicist turning to his colleagues and saying “hey you guys—I think electricity and magnetism might be linked somehow”, and his colleagues just staring at him.
